SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted December 21, 2004 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 21, 2004 NEW Online Journals Section & Members Pages The new Journals section of the site is now online: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/journal.php We introduced Journals to the site two seasons ago, but we have just given that section of the site a major overhaul for the 2004/5 season, adding a lot of new functionality and hopefully making the new section easier to use and much more fun to use. So.... what's new? The best way to find out is to go over to the new Journals section and check it all out! But in summary: JOURNALS: ---You can now post 2 photos with each of your journals; ---There is now an increased limit of 50 photos per user (up to 20 displayed on the Members page); ---You can now post comments on other user's Journals (and on your own as well if you want to.) You can also edit those comments (and delete them if they are comments posted by another user on your page); ---An email will be sent to your registered email address to notify you whenever another user adds comments to one of your Journals; ---A new Search functionality allows you to search for any Journals that have been posted about a particular Japanese Resort; ---The Journals are now archived by month; ---The section has been given a complete design overhaul and a completely new interface making it easier to read, find, post and edit Journals. MEMBERS PAGES: The Members pages of the site have also been given an visual upgrade. MAIN JOURNALS SECTION: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/journal.php HELP / MORE INFO: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/aboutjournals.html We hope the new section will encourage the Journals to be used more this season, providing some useful and fun info for everyone! If you experience any problems - please mail us at editor@snowjapan.com. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Haven't looked at it all, but very big improvement. Member pages look much nicer as well. Now all I need is a ticket to Japan to try it all out again. (Sounds like a good idea for one of your giveaways ) Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Looks good I'll be taking advantage of it for sure Instead of flying somebody over here for a prize you should fly somebody out to where ever the snow is. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Looks great. I like the member pages too, much nicer. Definitely keep one of these things going once the goddam snow decides to arrive. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Not at all And KlingKlang you don't really need snow to write a journal. More than half of mine don't involve skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
ug 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 But hopefully they soon will all involve snow. I'm impressed - great page you have there Toque. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Wow thats a big change, it looks really cool. There's a whole lot of reading to be had there. I will be keeping my own this winter. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'm thinking of starting my own journals on here - mixing my winter sports activities with my love for cheese. I am sure it would be very popular and people would be very interested in it. It all looks very nice by the way. Otsukaresama. Link to post Share on other sites

merryJim 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I've been reading through these the last week or so - excellent new addition to the site. Well I know lots of the journals were there already but I had never really read them as it wasn't very easy to. The new layout and system is really good, making it easy to read it all.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 12, 2005 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 12, 2005 A few things to make the Journals section more visible on the site. On the main page of the site, the 4 most recent Journals will appear: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/index.php We've also put a link to any Journals for each resort on the Resort pages of the site. eg. the right hand side bar of this page: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=3 Also put links to any Journals on the main Prefecture resort listings: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/prefecturedata.php?prefecture=Niigata Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 How about making a voting contest once per season for the best journal of the year? Say the winner would get a trip to some resort. This would be a good way to boost the quality of the journals that are being posted. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 14, 2005 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 14, 2005 We plan on doing just that (not sure about prizes etc) - just give us a bit of time... slightly busy at the mo Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hey there SJ Just wondering if I can get an increase in the number of pictures in the journals. I seem to have already hit the 50 limit Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted June 1, 2005 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think we can do that, but please wait a bit - we're crazy busy right at this moment getting these forums sorted out. Once that is done, we'll look into it for you. Link to post Share on other sites
